Hello Eddie! Good to hear from you and AWESOME to hear you're enjoying some much needed rain! You have had a really difficult summer, I'd say you deserve some R@R! I'm doing well, thanks for asking. It's been a crazy busy summer for me too but in a much different way. Dealing with passengers, delays and cancellations at the airport may make you want to collapse sometimes but I still know the work you do is 50 times harder and more important! You're a really good guy! Get some rest and GO STAND OUT IN THAT RAIN!!!!!

My name is Chad VanJahnke. I am a volunteer PA EMT-B with the Delaware township ambulance core. I also work 3rd shift in NJ running a BLS ambulance. I'm working on a community service project for my college and home town of Dingmans Ferry Pa. I am going to school for my Paramedic license. In class we all were given a challenge to go out into the community and educate the public about EMS and CPR with an AED. I went to my church / child's preschool and asked if I could give a free class about the new American Heart Guidelines for CPR. When I asked, I was informed that the church did not have an AED. However they did show a great interest in learning the new information from the A.H.A.. I talked with the directer and agreed to set up a date for the spring. I now am looking for funding to purchase an AED for the church and any other organization that needs one. I was looking into one of the grant on grants.gov. I found one that sounded good CFDA Number: 93.259: Rural Access to Emergency Devices Grant. I am only looking for one or two AEDs and the application reads for a large organization to apply. Any help would be great. If anyone knows of grants to apply for funding send an email to cav8099@gmail.com. Thank you all for the help with this community service project.
